Looks like something the FtB community might enjoy–CNN’s iReport people are collecting our stories, the stories of “A holiday season without religion”. I’ve already submitted An Atheist’s Christmas, which (amusingly) was already seen by one commenter as an attack.
Anyway, increased visibility, a spectrum of atheist christmases, is a positive step toward increased acceptance. So, yeah, go tell the world about your atheist holiday season, whether you celebrate something or not. As of this posting, there are 189 stories up.

I celebrate Christmas like anybody else–I just leave out the parts that don’t appeal to me, like the sermon, and the creche.
The good parts of Christmas were all stolen from the pagans anyway, so I figure it’s a secular holiday.

“Amusingly”? You meant “predictably”
